ABSTRACT

A self heating pre-moistened wipe(s) package ( 10 ) includes a pre-moistened wipe(s) to be heated. The pre-moistened wipe(s) can be of variable size, shape, thickness and material, impregnated with a cleaning solution depending on the application. Within said outer package ( 10 ) is a thermal insulated layer ( 11 ). Enclosed in said packaging is a solvent activated exothermic chemical pad, powder, liquid or gel, enclosed in an absorbent envelope ( 21 ), a bag containing solvent ( 20 ) and a pouch for a pre-moistened wipe(s) ( 13 ). Enclosed within said package is a trigger mechanism to initiate the reaction either through a pull-tab means or through a pressure/rupturing means. Said trigger mechanism is affixed to said solvent bag ( 20 ) so that when triggered, the solvent within can flow out to trigger the exothermic reaction.

[0001] This invention utilizes a self-heating package for the purpose ofcontaining and heating a pre-moistened wipe(s). It relates to apre-moistened wipe(s) for the purpose of cleaning parts of the humanbody or any relevant surface. Said pre-moistened wipe(s) is contained ina flexible insulated package heated by an exothermic reagent.

[0002] Pre-moistened wipe(s) have been utilized to clean varioussurfaces. Examples include U.S. Pat. No. 4,666,621/CA Pat. No. 2,100,814and CA Pat. No. 2,303,306. Previous pre-moistened wipe(s), for thepurpose of cleaning the human body include U.S. Pat. No. 5,595,807. Noneof the afore mentioned include a heating agent for the purpose ofproviding a warm or hot cleaning material. One advantage of a heatedpre( )moistened wipe(s) is to avoid the sudden discomfort on initialcontact with human skin. Another advantage is to enhance the cleaningexperience of parts of the human body when a shower is unavailable. Yetanother advantage of a heated pre-moistened wipe(s) is the fact thatheat increases the efficacy of breaking down grease or oil compounds andloosening dirt.

[0003] Examples of heated packages include U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,921, U.S.Pat. No. 5,220,909, U.S. Pat. No. 4,823,769/CA Pat. No. 1,322,349, U.S.Pat. No. 4,819,612/CA Pat. No. 2,017,502, U.S. Pat. No. 4,809,673, andU.S. Pat. No. 5,465,707/CA Pat. No. 2,169,259. All of the aforementioned are self-heated exothermic packages designed to carryfoodstuff within. In addition, all of the afore mentioned (with theexception of U.S. Pat. No. 5,465,707/CA Pat. No. 2,169,259) utilizedrigid packaging for the purpose of storing and perpetuating theexothermic reaction.

[0004] Examples of flexible, chemical thermal bags are also well known.Although they are comprised of flexible outer housing, they do notenclose any substance to be heated such as pre-moistened wipe(s).Examples include U.S. Pat. No. 4,856,651, U.S. Pat. No. 4,268,272, U.S.Pat. No. 5,874,504 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,995,217/U.S. Pat. No.4,856,651/CA Pat. No. 1,278,478.

[0005] None of the afore mentioned references describes the novelenhancements to be mentioned hereinafter and defined as a self heatingpre-moistened wipe(s) package. Moreover, they do not outline theadvantages inherent within this design. The heated pre-moistened wipe(s)package has several adavantages, as outlined below, when there aremultiple chambers or bladders, which allows control of the temperatureprofile independently of the initial dissolution of a component insolvent.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0020] In the description and diagrams that follow, specific terminologywill be used in describing the details of the present invention for thesake of clarity. It is understood that these terms and/or phrases arenot intended to be limiting in any way, shape or form, in theirapplication to the details of construction and to the arrangements ofthe components set forth in the following description and illustrations.It is understood that in this patent the words “bladder” and “chamber”or their plural forms are understood to denote the same meaning. It isalso understood that the terminology used includes all technicalequivalents, which are used in a similar manner to accomplish a similarpurpose. As such, it is noted and understood by all those skilled in theart that the basic idea of the present invention described in detail inthis disclosure may easily be utilized as a basis for the designing ofother structures and systems for carrying out similar purposes. It isalso understood therefore that this patent includes all such variations,insofar as they do not depart from the basic idea and scope of thepresent invention which is a self-heating pre-moistened wipe(s) package.

[0021] The present invention relates a novel new idea in the form of apre-moistened wipe(s) that is not only heated, but self-heated in aninsulated exothermic package that is flexible and disposable.

[0022]FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A reveal the basic design of the preferredembodiment of the invention. In FIG. 1 the illustration is shown as apartial cross-section of the components of the basic invention. It iscomprised of an elongated outer pouch (10) enclosing an innerpre-moistened wipe(s) package (13) containing the pre-moistened wipe(s).In the envelope space formed between the outer pouch (10) and the innerpackage (13) is located the solvent chamber (20) and the chemicalreagent (22). Together they form the heating elements (25) FIG. 1.

[0023] Ideally, said outer pouch (10) should be flexible, liquidimpermeable and somewhat heat resistant. It may be opaque and made of alaminated material such as blax nylon, polyester such as MYLAR.RTM,polyethylene, polypropylene, aluminum, aluminized polymer film and otherconventional plastic or other packaging materials such as rubber, vinyl,vinyl-coated fabric, polyethylene and laminated aluminum foil suitablefor containing heated reagents It should also consist of a thermalinsulated layer (12) which may be of a fine cell or cross-linkedpolyethylene or other suitable material. The composite material sheet isfolded together with the folded edge becoming the bottom of the outerpouch (10). The sides are held together preferably with weld seams (11)to form the complete outer pouch (10).

[0024] Within said outer pouch is enclosed the inner package (13)containing the pre-moistened wipe(s). Said inner package (13) should beformed from a heat resistant, durable, liquid impermeable sheet materialfolded together. The folded edge becomes the bottom of the innerpackage/pouch (13). Liquid-tight weld seams (14) are made along thelength of the sides to form the pouch. Within this pouch is enclosed thepre-moistened wipe(s). Said pre-moistened wipe(s) may be of any size,shape, construction, and composition depending on the manufacturer'srequirements and desires. Said pre-moistened wipe(s) is impregnated withany safe, effective, cleaning solution specifically suited to itsapplication (e.g. cleaning portions of the human body). Furthermore,said pre-moistened wipe(s) is folded over as many times, as few times ornot at all, in accordance with the manufacturer's designs in order tomaintain rigidity or flatness of the complete package for designrequirements.

[0025] With exception to specifics about the pre-moistened wipe(s), FIG.1 shows all of the above mentioned elements. In addition, it is shownthat said inner package (13) has an opening across the top edge (30),located above the upper edge of the outer pouch (10) which can be openedto release said heated pre-moistened wipe(s). In the configuration ofFIG. 1, the package is sealed and designed to be torn open by a tearstrip (32). However, the actual design could embody any method forsealing, such as a plastic zipper, or an adhesive near the upper edge ofthe outer pouch (10). In FIG. 1, the inside surface of said outer pouch(10) is sealed against the outside surface of said inner pre-moistenedwipe(s) package (13) by weld seams (31). Adhesive strips may also beused in place of weld seams (31). These weld seams prevent crosscontamination of said pre-moistened wipe(s) with the enclosed chemicalswhen said inner pre-moistened wipe(s) package (13) is opened. Inaddition, weld seams (31) (or adhesive strips) prevent heat loss duringthe exothermic reaction.

[0026] In FIG. 1 there is an envelope formed between the inside of thethermal insulating layer (12) and the outside of the inner package (13).Within this envelope space is located the exothermic components. Thesecomponents comprise a solvent chamber (20); the solvent chamberbasically comprises a bladder made of some liquid impermeable,rupturable plastic-like material containing the solvent for theexothermic reaction. In FIG. 1, said solvent chamber (20) is largeenough to fit snugly in said envelope space and is sealed against theinside of said thermal insulated layer (12) by liquid tight weld seams(23). Said solvent chamber (20) is constructed in such a manner thatwhen specific pressure is applied (in between fingers or against hardsurface) the chamber ruptures, releasing said solvent thus triggeringthe exothermic reaction. Pressure against or along said bladder/chamberselectively ruptures, perforates, or otherwise compromises saidbladder/chamber, while leaving the outer surfaces of the package, andthe surfaces surrounding the package and said envelope space intact.Said chamber can be comprised of any of a number of functionalconfigurations. In a preferred embodiment, said chamber comprises arupturable, plastic like material containing the reagent, which ismanually ruptured.

[0027] The other component of the trigger mechanism is the exothermicreagent (22). This reagent may be magnesium oxide or some other suitablechemical and may be in the form of a powder, pad, gel or even liquid. InFIG. 1, it is in the form of a powder and enclosed in an absorbentenvelope (21). The entire envelope (21) may or may not fit snugly insaid envelope space. Said envelope (21) may or may not be attached tothe outside of said inner package (13) by weld seams (24). The absorbentenvelope (21) facilitates the exothermic reaction by absorbing theliquid solvent and bringing it in contact with the exothermic reagent(22) within. Ideally, the absorbent envelope (21) is made from filterpaper or similar material. If the exothermic reagent is in the form of apad, the absorbent envelope could be a sheet of absorbent materialwrapped around the exothermic pad. If the reagent is a powder, thepowder is sealed within the absorbent envelope (21). If the reagent is aliquid or gel, an absorbent envelope is not necessary. Instead, theexothermic reagent (22) could permeate throughout said envelope space,between said thermal insulated layer (12) and said inner package (13).

[0028] As previously stated, FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A depict the idealembodiment of the invention. FIG. 1B and FIG. 1C depict a similarembodiment encompassing all of the elements in FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A withthe exception of a slight variation in the triggering mechanism for theexothermic reaction. FIG. 1B is a perspective view of a self-heated,exothermic pre-moistened wipe(s) package encompassing all of theelements in FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A with the exception of multiplebladders/chambers (20A). Said bladders may be connected or independentof each other. For example, each chamber (20A) embodying the samecharacteristics as in (20) (FIG. 1) may be independent plastic-likebladders each containing said solvent, positioned and attached by weldseams to the inside of said thermal insulated layer (12), or theindividual solvent chambers may be connected to one another by a flat,rigid, plastic substance (20B) that sits in said envelope space as inFIG. 1B. This rigid plastic substance (20B) may be held in place by weldseams (24) or simply fit snugly into place. Each chamber is designed tobe ruptured independently by the application of specific pressure toeach bladder. The advantage of this design is that the intensity andduration of the exothermic reaction may be controlled by the individualdepending on when and how many chambers are ruptured. Also, thetemperature of the pre-moistened wipe(s) may be controlled.

[0029]FIG. 1C depicts all of the elements described above with onlyslight variations in the exothermic trigger mechanism. The multiplechamber (20C) is exactly the same as in FIG. 1B only with round chambersinstead of square ones. The number and shape of bladders/chambers arevariable depending on the manufacturer's needs.

[0030]FIG. 1D depicts an embodiment that resembles the one depicted inFIG. 1A. It comprises all of the elements of FIG. 1A with a slightvariation in the design of the trigger mechanism. The solvent bag (20)is attached to the tope of said self-heating pre-moistened wipe(s)package (10) by a weld seam (11) or a separate weld seam and theexothermic reagent (22) resides near the bottom of said envelope spaceat the opposite end. Said reagent (22) may not be affixed and take theform of a liquid, gel, powder, absorbing envelope or pad. Said absorbentenvelope (21) may be affixed by one or more weld seams to the outside ofthe pre-moistened wipe(s) package (13) or to the inside of the outerpackage (10). When said solvent bag (20) is pressed or squeezed, therebyruptured (preferably along bottom weld seam), said package (10) is heldupright temporarily to allow the solvent to seep down into the reagentbelow thereby triggering the exothermic reaction. This specificarrangement of said solvent bag (20) and reagent (22) utilizes gravityto maximize contact between the two chemicals, thereby increasing theefficacy of the exothermic chemical reaction and also reducingmanufacturing costs.

[0031]FIG. 2 and FIG. 2A are perspective drawings of a self-heatedpre-moistened wipe(s) package embodying all of the elements previouslystated for FIG. 1 and FIG. 1A with a slight variation in the heatingelements (25). Shown in FIG. 2 is the preferred trigger mechanismutilizing a pulling device. Said solvent bag (20) of FIG. 2 is formedfrom a liquid impermeable plastic sheet material folded together. Thefolded edge forms the bottom of the solvent chambers (20). Liquid-tightweld seams (24) are made around the sides and top to form the solventbag (20). The solvent is contained within the volume enclosed by theweld seams (24). Said solvent bag may or may not fit snugly in theenvelope space formed between the inside of the thermal insulated layer(12) and outside of the inner pre-moistened wipe(s) package (13). Saidsolvent bag is attached to the inside of the thermal insulated layer(12) by weld seams or by some other means. Said solvent chamber (20)contains manufactured holes or pores (27) facing absorbent envelope (21)containing chemical reagent (22). An adhesive flap (26), covers theporous openings (27), in order to contain said solvent within saidsolvent bag (20). A pull string (41) enters the outer package (10)through a small hole (43). Said pull string hole (43) is sufficientlysmall as to minimize heat loss during use of the device. Said pullstring (41) extends down the length of the bladder/chamber (20) andloops around the loop hole (40) of the adhesive flap (26). The other endof the pull string (41) exits the small hole (43) and is attached to afastener (44). Upon pulling said pull string (41), the adhesive flap(26) peels off the solvent chamber (20) exposing said porous openings(27) thereby releasing the solvent and triggering the exothermicreaction. In order to increase the mechanical efficiency of thetriggering mechanism, an extended lower lip (61) is incorporated intothe design of the outer package (10). Said lower lip (61) is formed byextending the lower folded portion of the outer package (10) beyond theweld seams (60). Said lower lip (61) provides a surface that could beheld between fingers, to pull against the pulling action of the string(41) when the exothermic reaction is triggered. To improve themechanical action of said triggering mechanism, increasing the rigidityof the device through packaging or some other means is beneficial. Achemical reagent (22) in the form of a pad is recommended for increasedrigidity.

[0032]FIG. 2A depicts all of the embodiments described by FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 with the exception of the trigger mechanism which has a slightvariation.

[0033] Shown in FIG. 2A is the solvent bag (20) formed from a liquidimpermeable plastic sheet material folded together. The folded edgeforms the bottom of the solvent bag (20). Liquid tight weld seams (23)are formed around the sides and top to form the solvent chamber (20).Two liquid tight weld seams (62) are made across the top and bottom ofthe bag at a distance away from the edges to form an upper and lower lip(63). Said solvent is contained within this space. The two lips (63)that are formed are affixed to the inside of the thermal insulated layer(12) by fasteners (64) such as staples or some other means. A pullstring (41) enters through the outer package (10) via a smallhole/opening (43), small enough to minimize heat loss when triggered.The string (41) extends down the solvent chamber (20) in the spacebetween the solvent bag (20) and the inner pre-moistened wipe(s) package(13). Said pull string (41) further extends around one end of thesolvent bag through a rip hole or loop hole (40) cut into the lower lip(63). Said pull string (41) then traverses back up along the backside ofthe solvent bag (20) between the solvent bag (20) and the inside of thethermal insulated layer (12). It is then fastened to the combinationsheet layer comprising the outer package (10) and the thermal insulatedlayer (12) by some fastener (42) such as a staple or some other means.The other end of the pull string (41) protruding from the small hole(43) outside the outer package (10), is attached to a pull-tab (44).When the pull string (41) is activated, it facilitates a tear startingat the loophole (40) continuing down the center of the solvent bag (20)releasing said solvent, triggering the exothermic reaction. To maximizethe efficacy of said triggering mechanism, rigidity of the device is ofutmost importance. Rigidity of packaging should be taken intoconsideration by the manufacturer. In addition, an exothermic reagent(22) in the form of a pad is preferred to increase rigidity. Inaddition, when designing the outer package (10), a lower lip (61)extends beyond the weld seams (60) some distance to provide a grip to beheld between fingers to counteract the pulling action of the pull string(41) and maximize the tearing action of said trigger mechanism.
